Asia continues to dominate global renewable energy growth, accounting for 71% of new capacity added in 2024, while Africa and other developing regions remain far behind despite their potential. Solar and wind lead the charge, comprising 97.5% of additions, with solar alone adding 453 GW. Although global renewables capacity hit a record 582 GW, the world is still off track to meet the COP28 goal of tripling capacity by 2030. Without faster growth and more equitable investment, the energy transition risks deepening the global divide.

Products were considered “accurately labeled” if they contained within 15% of the THC amount shown on the label—the same threshold the state uses. About 44% percent of flower products failed to meet that standard, with 54 of those products inflating their THC content and 23 containing more THC than the label indicated. Only four concentrate products were labeled inaccurately.
